Joensuun Kataja play host to Keravnos in Finland on Tuesday in a game that will most likely decide the recipient of the second ticket to the Last 16 from the group.

The hosts will qualify if they beat the Cyrpiot side by six points or more. Keravnos will go through if they win by any margin. In case the Finns win by less than five points, the situation will be clear only on the final game day with Keravnos needing to match Kataja's result to go through.

Kataja are coming off an 84-69 away defeat to Kauhajoki in the Finnish League on Saturday.

On the same day Keravnos registered their sixth victory in as many games, 65-52 over Omonoia, and remain at the top of the standings in their domestic championship.

On Wednesday, Krasnye Krylia receive CSU Asesoft Ploiesti and will clinch first place in the group if they win, regardless of what takes place in the Tuesday game.

Norrköping Dolphins will take the second ticket to the Last 16 from the group if they manage to beat fellow Swedish side Södertälje Kings on the road on Tuesday and, at the same time, Pyrintö fall to Ventspils.

If the Dolphins win but Pyrintö upset the group leaders in Latvia, the Swedes will need to protect their 11-point advantage from the first encounter between the two teams when they travel to Finland on the final day for the reverse fixture.

The Kings on the other hand need a win by three points or more to have a realistic chance of advancing.

If they achieve that and Pyrintö lose in Latvia this week, then they could go through as long as they beat Ventspils on the final day or they lose but the Finns defeat the Kings on the same day.

Ventspils will still finish first in the group even if they lose both their remaining games, but it is safe to assume they would want to extend their impressive winning streak, currently at 10 games.

Pyrintö can still hope to go through even if they fall in Latvia, as long as the Dolphins lose to the Kings.
